Is it bad to over fill your tranny?

[ZER026D]

Ok here I go I I have had grinding going from 3rd to 4th I put in some lucas tranny stuff and it fixed it. Now I have a little to much oitl in my gear box can somone tell me if I should take a little out or is it going to be fine. :wink:

While I do not know the internals of the Subaru Trannys yet, I would guess that it would be better at the right level.

Generally, to much oil causes things to either get to much oil like Synchros, cause aeration (Oil Foam), or just reduce performance due to added fluid resistance to rotating parts.

Manufacturers usually design them to run at or below full.

I would guess that a tranny additive won't overfill the box too much, usually it's only a few ounces of additive. However, Dean's right about the foaming... same thing can happen if you overfill your motor oil, and then you don't have nearly as much protection.

You might be able to open the plug a little so it starts to leak out just a bit and wait until enough slowly drips out, but as soon as you take the plug all the way out, you're going to have to drain the whole thing, since it's fairly impossible to install a plug back in there while the fluid's draining.
